Original Art Packs
Invest in the next generation of artists and give the gift of creativity to Ann Arbor Public High School art students! Donate The Original Art Pack, full of high-quality art supplies and get rewards!
We’re providing backpacks filled with professional-grade art supplies to 1,300 Ann Arbor Public High School art students (grades 9-12). These aren’t basic crayons—these are the real tools artists use, carefully selected to match AAPS curriculum and give every student equitable access to quality materials.
You’re not just donating. You’re launching careers.
Youth Art Fair
Your $25 donation will help provide a space for a student artist to sell their artwork at the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair. The student keeps 100% of their earnings, receives mentorship from professional artists, and peer-based learning on-site from our NANA MI college art students (who also receive free space to sell their art work)!
Learn more about the Youth Art Fair here.
PLUS your donation is a win-win! Any donation of $50 or more receives amazing thank you gifts like hand-crafted ceramic mugs, fabulous commemorative art fair prints, and apparel. They make perfect gifts holidays or special occasions!
